Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King was 
A man of words
He stirred your emotions
And you wanted to be heard

He inspired me
To fight for what I want
And not give up
When others tell me don’t

You inspired me oh yell
Bringing my feelings out
You tried me

In life we all are
Considered as one
Our colors are combine
It’s considered a job well-done

Put your emotions
On the back burner
Be all you can be
Fighting for your rights is nocturnal

You inspired me oh yell
Bringing my feelings out
You tried me

Hi Daisy, Martin Luther King was good choice. He stood up for equality and wanted all to get along. He promoted love and instead of hate. As you can see, I liked him too. Congratulations on your HM. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Congratulations Daisy on your honorable placement in the Ode for a Leader or Politician Past or Present contest. I enjoyed your poem, it is very well written, makes good use of form and seems go sing, but I am afraid you got bitten by the 20 line limit rule. Thanks for entering, I enjoyed reading it.
